Movie theaters are private entities and unlike govermental units are not subject
to the requirements that apply to the latter in regard to search warrants.
In other words, such private organizations can require whatever search rules
of patrons that they want and if you don't like it, your alternative
is to patronize another movie house without such search rules.
